Clarendon County is home to six Revolutionary War sites on The Liberty Trail, all significant Francis Marion sites: Fort Watson, Great Savannah, Halfway Swamp, Ox Swamp, Tearcoat Swamp and Wyboo Swamp.
Clarendon County is also known for its noble deeds. Francis Marion, also known as the Swamp Fox, was a hero of the Revolutionary War who rescued 150 prisoners during the Battle of Nelson’s Ferry in August 1780.
Visiting Clarendon County is an opportunity to explore its rich history. The Clarendon County Historical Society Museum and the Clarendon County Archives are just some of the many treasures to be discovered along the county’s historic path.
